I am a 55 yr woman. I cannot sleep on my back but propped up on a wedge because of my sleep apnea. I am careful not to take any cough medicine as this makes me drowsy and I end up waking up gasping for air. Would I be so sedated that I may stop breathing while you do surgery on me? And are you prepared for a situation like this? What would you do if this happened? I really do want a Lower Face Lift but I need to feel sure that this surgery will not cause me any problems. Thank you!
